Under certain circumstances,a nucleus can decay by emitting a particle more massive than an $\alpha$-particle. Consider the following decay processes:
$_{88}^{223} Ra \rightarrow _{82}^{209} Pb + _{6}^{14} C$
$_{88}^{223} Ra \rightarrow _{86}^{219} Rn + _{2}^{4} He$
Calculate the $Q$-values for these decays and determine that both are energetically allowed.

$A$ nucleus with mass number $220$ initially at rest emits an $\alpha -$ particle. If the $Q$ value of the reaction is $7.8 \, MeV$ and subsequently after the emission of the $\alpha -$ particle,a photon of energy $1.2 \, MeV$ is also emitted. The kinetic energy of the $\alpha -$ particle is ? .......... $MeV$
